P76.1 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of transitory ileus of newborn. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.

The ICD code P761 is used to code Ileus

Ileus (/ˈɪliəs/; from Greek εἰλεός eileós, "intestinal obstruction") is a disruption of the normal propulsive ability of the gastrointestinal tract. Although ileus originally referred to any lack of digestive propulsion, including bowel obstruction, up-to-date medical usage restricts its meaning to those disruptions caused by the failure of peristalsis, rather than by mechanical obstruction. Although certain older terms such as gallstone ileus and meconium ileus persist in usage, they are now misnomers (which does not mean that they are incorrect or obsolete, but rather that they are known to not sound like what they really are).

This is the official exact match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk.
This means that in all cases where the ICD9 code 777.4 was previously used, P76.1 is the appropriate modern ICD10 code.
